u. s. to actually stay competitive in these tax bases in a way, yes, because as ben does pointed out, asia is basically driving all the growth in technology right now. and especially e commerce, e commerce is growing faster in asia than it is in the u. s. and in europe. so right now with this trade proposal, the u. s. is trying to win basically the new battle grounds, the new battlegrounds of tech. and by doing this, by saying that, hey, you have to choose either us or china, you're splintering this entire digital landscape. so that means i, south, east asian nations will be forced to, to the side. if they do choose to side with us, that means china will withdraw all of their technology out of it. and not only will they set these countries back, but now this gives the us ample room to bring in google to bring facebook to bring all their companies in. so not only is the us trying to push china out, the us trying to spread their own influence by using this proposal as a leaping board to kind of spread their influence and favor their own tech companies. and kristi did this, china in its own ri

u. s. president and basically say farewell. i think it's important not least because the traffic atlantic relationship has taken a beating over the past 4 and a half years. it was interesting. i was looking at statistics today that represent a survey that's been carried out for a long time by the pew research institute. in the united states, and they ask americans about their trust in other countries and they ask germans and other other europeans about their trust in the united states and trust here in germany and in europe significantly declined during the trump presidency and it hasn't come all the way back yet, the relationship definitely was damaged by president trump's trade wars by his really personal attacks on chancellor michael he let loose a lot of tweets. we remember when he was back when he was hot and social media back during his presidency with real vicious verbal attacks on the chancellor. so there came, it came to a point at which she said, we have arrived at a point where we can rely on the u. s. to a certain degree less than we used to be able to do.

u. s. because again, china already has a very strong foothold in all the south east. asia nations are very dependent for a lot of the technology has come out such as ali bob intends on holding this fence significant amounts of money and investment dollars in these countries. and right now you have over half a 1000000000 of these people, migrating their businesses and merchants on line, be 10 cent and alibaba. so it's going to be a very significant challenge for the us to kind of win them off of already entrenched chinese technology. and they've been china's president, she has actually spoken out recently about this possible deal making reference to the idea that the u. s. wants to make these deals as a way to protect american power and the profits of american technology companies. something kristie just alluded to. there as well. is there truth to that? i would say, yes. i agree. i think there's a lot of truth to it. i mean, i think at the end of the day, we will have to recognize a couple of the,

u. s. because they are clearly surging to record high numbers every year. gabriel is on though with the latest that from new york gave. thank you. members of townsend, he is main opposition party or demanding to know where their chairman is. after an overnight police raid police officer is rounded up, freeman and boy and 10 other. it should be my party members or the on wednesday, the party says the arrests are proof that president some year sulu who her son is continuing the authoritarianism over predecessor john michael. fully who died back in march, catherine saw reports the police in northwest times and he is once a city looking for anyone trying to attend a meeting called by the opposition center my party that's despite the rest of 11 party members, including its leader freeman boy. the opposition has been calling for constitutional changes, such as the reduction of presidential powers and an independent electoral commission . but the constitution we are fighting for is not just for us, but fo

u. s worker because the u. s. worker manufactured all the cars, manufactured all the goods and services. they're the ones that we were the big export nation at the time since w t o sense bill clinton sense joe biden was senator, we basically exported all our jobs to china. that was, as we've covered part of the trip and dilemma. now there is another thing that's completely changed and this is the guardian newspaper like allegedly very left wing . and while they say, why does inflation worry the right so much conservative rhetoric warning of wage price files is disingenuous. and it's a whole bunch of gobbledygook. and that's actually kind of like, difficult to understand, but in other words, yes, prices are up, but so are wages. and depending on what you consume and how much debt you carry, that can be a net positive since inflation a road to the real value of debt. spoiler. that's why finance hates it really. oh yeah, yeah. finance has had such a hard time these past decade or 2, right. there's no profits there

u. s. u, a back door continues to support the corrupt regime and war. they could change the, the facts on the ground because you're going to be that have government troops using the other side of the border. it's as a pain in, you know, how the conflict spill because of the taliban are going to continue their path. the power as it were. and you have these troops in going over the border. they may go and go after them, which of course is the worst nightmare for the entire region. it seems to me it's still very and contingent in us is going to leave and i keep asking expert, what does it mean and what does the word finally leave me go ahead. yeah, there's a good question. what is leave mean? just look over to the situation in iraq, and you can see that even a us pull out could mean nato coming in or multinational force. and that's just moving the chess pieces around. because sensibly nato's controlled by the united states in the, in the u. k. effectively, in terms of the bulk of its forces and it's strategic direction. so for, i guess it's a big, it's a big problem. you know, is not an easy solution to it a,

u. s. playbook. so china is now on the defensive because of the continuing hostilities between the u. s and china and because of these are very hot sectors, namely tech and finance. beijing is now going to become more defensive when it comes to these overseas listening acquirements because they don't want an episode of if the u. s. if conditions actually deteriorate the u. s. did say that, hey, we can pull all of these chinese companies off the stock of the stock exchanges and that would be extremely detrimental in the long run. for all these chinese companies does more of a defensive play for now, rather than an outright. vito, certainly those tension between the 2 countries do still remain. now then china's market regulator on saturday said it would block 10 to plan to merge the country top to video games streaming sites on antitrust grounds. what happened there? yeah, you know, we talk about this quite a bit. it seems like which is this idea of anti trust coming out of china. the chinese regulators are being very serious about that. they have a mandate to say, make sure that you don

u. s. partly because of one of the infrastructure we have around launch capabilities, as well as available capital to go into these very expensive and complex industries . additionally, as foreign investor foreign partner for an entrepreneurs are developing their technology in the business, they're also looking to become incorporated in the us to have access to that. because it's easier with international regulations if they go through the compliance of, you know, becoming incorporated. because that's not a simple process, but you know, soon away it's happening elsewhere in the, in the world. we're seeing a lot more of it in the us because of some structural capabilities and, you know, capital and air and i have 30 seconds for this. but you alluded to the price point, you know, it's $250000.00, at least to get on a virgin galactic flight. you know, and we can remember, obviously, airplanes were that expensive, but it was expensive to apply when that technology became available. do you anticipate that that price will eventually become come down? it well, i know blue origin wants to get it d

i would say because the u. s. strategy and it's all the centralization was to large extent, did the couple of the central nation read them from countries like russia and china . so this was what they can make projects that everything was geared to in this direction. now, and this was consistent with the u. s. u k. history of your asia, which has been brought to divide by the major powers. so the news coming out from china and russian, but even iran to smaller extent is the failure of the us and they don't condition in the sun while it's create challenges. it also opens up. so for today's military, you're ation solutions. something that russia would support as well. this would include most of the neighbors come from russia, china, iran, central asia, live in india, and the world integration of this great 3 ration region, which is a key project for the chinese russians to be complete without. and it's coming down through economic coming to the and we are here in a chinese is interested in to push this trillion doll

summit, alaska, china reminded anthony blinking, who has the gold, apparently, because they didn't show any respect to the u. s. is shenanigans summit. but so it is very worrying because this is, that is a sunset moment for, for democracy. and the assange case, it's just is a touchstone of, of that process here. what this is all about is they may never want another julian ever to happen again. 2020 seconds go ahead. yeah, yeah, no, absolutely. and he is achieving incredible status amongst activists and people who really believe in the free press and he's become a real icon is the question is, can more people rally around this issue? what, what will that, what would, what would take for that to happen? that's the big question is looming, and if it doesn't happen, what does that mean for democracy and constitutional forms of government going forward? lot it's they want to think might get enough low and, and i want to think be worth watching as here. are the next time. remember the ah, i use ah me. she was all simply real thing a little slow, letting them go by susan. well, the oh, come a little to go see me when

u. s. and the timing can very few coincidences in china. and i think this is no coincidence. it's also there's been a lot of tension about chinese companies listing in the u. s. for example, because they have different rules. they've been imposing new rules on chinese companies that they have to be more transparent. so perhaps the chinese government feels that they're, they're revealing to many of their secrets that they're there. we're exporting chinese secrets or technology. so i think there could, there's definitely something behind the timing. and this is definitely going to be difficult for investors to know, you know, the rules keep changing all the time. and it's not just this tech from, of course that's being targeted. that's right. yeah. we've had, we've, we've had alibaba last year. they had a $34000000000.00 ip scuppered because probably because of remarks by jack mar saying that the state banking system needed to be reformed. so there is, there is a big crack down on tech at the moment. this is also the week after the chinese colonies party celebration 100th birthday. it's riding high, and it feels that wants to demonstrate that it's in control, that it wants to show

u. s. that's because those in charge seemingly can't decide what's best 1st. it was all on for everybody, but then for the doubly vaccinated it was off, but now it's on again. and if you're confused, you're not alone in the max or max ah. ready ah, the yeah. okay. you know where the where the losing me. ah, ah, ah, the 1st day joe, don't wear a math where math, where to mass, monica math, golf. we're running around here. speaker come down or 10 o'clock in the morning thing we got to where maps. i hate these things. we are absolutely sick and tired of it. so the american people, ah, ah, ah, ah, it is a for me to out. i will be back in about 30 minutes for another full fresh look. this is our international. there was oh, i use the i'm kaiser. this is the kaiser report, you know, we've been right for so many years and there's just so many ways to demonstrate how we've been right. charged graph. that's a stations by various experts, including ourselves, se, se, graphically, what are we talking about today? well, we have some charts here to show you what has happen

u. s. them because next tradition request was rejected by the state department. nevertheless, they're grateful to the court. majority of the say for allowing the civil claim to proceed. the family spokes person saying that the paving, the way to justice must be accountability. and i know they did, the crown prosecution service in london are busy working through the various options at the moment. so we know the path to justice has been clear to the criminal offense. were incredibly grateful for that. i would just issue another feel to the authorities about london, washington. you know that speed up the process, the suffering is only intensifying and it's time to get this. all done in this case continues to be extraordinary and all sentences of the word. but as always, you know, they will tell the truth and it's talking about harry is talking about the consequences that they've suffered under their mental illness. that they're all suffering terribly from. and, you know, that's what it's about. so it's about the truth and it's simple and you know, i think they've been incredible just getting here

u. s. connected china to a cyber attack on microsoft. i had a meeting chinese foreign minister, one you said, whose country won't accept the u. s. taking a superior position. because john j. u. s. has been using its strength to put pressure on other countries and thinking it's superior to others. we need to tell the us, clearly there's no country in the world, but it's superior to others, and there shouldn't be one. china will never accept any country that claims to be superior to others. if the u. s. has not learned to treat other countries equally, or china and the international community have the responsibility, help us learn this lesson properly. correspond to adrian bryan is covering this for us from hong kong and he's live with me now. adrian just put the tone of the form as he was saying there, one gets the feeling that there's not a great deal of expectation that very much is likely to be achieved with this meeting. yes, indeed, rob. the good news is the 2 sides are sitting down to talk and remember when the showman won't just be meeting one me, the chinese foreign minister should also be meeting sure. fine. who is the man in charge of us sino relation? so

u. s. as was when jordan in washington dc roseland, who's been speculation that the u. s. may have lost some negotiating power because of that with military withdrawal from afghanistan. but just talk us through the role that the u. s. is actually playing in these talks. while you're right, there has been speculation that perhaps the u. s. is losing it, seated the table as the afghan civilian government and the tall about tried to work out some sort of peace deal. but tell, let's not forget the taller bond 1st dealt with the americans before actually sitting down with this afghan civilian leadership. and that is where, of course, among other things, the idea of a prisoner swap or prisoner release was agreed to. now the us does still have a very central role in these talks. it is acting as an interlocutor in the talks and bouncers all my little side has been going back and forth working with both sides to try to help them reach some sort of eventual piece deal. he was also in some of the neighboring countries of afghan and stand earlier this week, working with them on ways to try to support the eventual afghan governme

u. s. military operations because it was concluded that there was no advantage to be gained by staying longer as, as nato and president biden always said, there are risks to going. there are risks to staying. they clearly made their decision that the risks of, of staying would be worse. and so yes, they're, they're moving very quickly to be out. we're hearing that just within a couple of days. this will happen end, and many afghans. fears may come true. you have u. s. military commanders saying openly that it's possible the country will descend into civil war. but the u. s. has decided that you know this, it's time to go. it said that the main goal here was to keep another terrorist attack from being launched from afghan soil. and in fact, that hasn't happened to the last 20 years, so they've decided to pack it up. thanks. d, w car spelled and teddy showed in brussels. the football euro 2020 quarter finals are getting underway with perhaps the most important much between a belgium and actually italians failed to qualify for the last major toilet. but have been on fire this summer raising hope

interested in frustration for new mothers, and i totally get why, because authorities have kind of danced around the subject. the cdc in the u. s, for example, says that because lactating women weren't part of studies, it can't make a concrete prediction on any effects. that vaccination might have on mothers, their milk or their newborns. but the agency also adds that there are no indications that breast note from vaccinated mothers poses a risk to their babies. and that women therefore can receive a vaccine. so an answer that place is the responsibility for making the decision squarely back on the shoulders of those women and the doctors who advise them. many experts expect a firmer official stands in the coming months as, as results from targeted studies roll land. but until then, here's a breakdown of what the data indicates so far. first of all, there is no evidence that vaccines harm, breast feeding mothers specifically and directly in any way, and a growing pile of evidence that they protect them from private 19 as effectively as they protect other people. second, research into authorized messenger r n. a vaccines hasn't

and because the u. s. government doesn't want to give you any details of their investigation because usually involves some kind of classified technology. they just don't tell you those details. so they probably come to a very similar conclusion to what i have if they really looked into them in any depth. you tweeted a page from a book by carl sagan that was written back in 1995. and they got my attention and you highlighted what say good wrote about the intellectual health of americans. and he says that americans are falling back into superstition in darkness because the technological powers controlling the world seems so great. and they are also so poorly understood by those who are supposed to represent our interest. e, you know, our politicians. is that what is happening in your opinion to our world when it comes to wanting to believe in us foes and not pushing more fervently for a scientific explanation as you do in your twitter feed? well, i think this is kind of an intractable problem, really not ev

u. s. for fear that they're going to be targeted. and u. s. investors will now food uncertainty is betting on us. the chinese thing, because while you do have a huge part that china is a growing tech behemoth that has a ton of r and d coming coming in, you'd kind of don't want to get caught up in the regulatory uncertainty of it all. and d quotes, we know that china has been cracking down on concerns related to data security and they've really been cracking down on chinese run enterprise over the last month and a half or so. so how did these specific tech firms get on their radar? thanks brand so well at one level, what we have here is something similar to what we have in the european union and the united states, which is if you like cyber nationalism, it's, it's all about data as security, the privacy of consumer data, monopolistic practices on the part of tech companies, but more than that in the china case is that but shiner of she g ping does not really want chinese companies to be global 1st and chinese 2nd. they want chinese companies to be for china. and what we're seeing in this particular case as a, a very direct

u. s. of course, that wants him extradited subs. lloyd believes that the u. s. is after him because he may hold the key to vent as well as ability to avoid washington sanctions. right, well the united states argues that they're simply enforcing their sanctions against venezuela as well as money laundering laws. is there a legal basis for that? swiss investigated? they're part of it, the money where the money went and they didn't find anything. the u. s. takes the position that any time a country tries to do anything around the sanctions that the u. s. should stop them . and so it tries to make the sanctions worldwide has implications for any country that sanctioned and there are a number of them. it has implications for the majority regime and the u. s. is constant efforts to basically overthrow it. it has certainly if, if on boy, someone who has simpler matic immunity can be captured in a country. that's that, that's a very bad precedent. well, further subs, lawyer points to alleged human rights abuses, facing those extra date in to the us and to its most controversial prison. guan

because of course, the u. s. government has to make certain that people are vaccinated and that they're not going to perhaps become most sick or infect others as they're moving from one place to another. there's also the question of whether there is enough staff support within the us government to process the paperwork in order to get the afghan translators, and their immediate families out of the country and eventually to the united states where you don't know any details about how they would be resettled once they make it to the united states. if indeed that is where these people decide that they ultimately want to live. but we do know that there has been a long standing concern about whether or not the us government would be abandoning these people who worked with them during the nearly 20 year long war. because of the very real fear that the tall, a bond, which is called afghan translators, and others who worked in positions that engaged with the u. s. government. these hollow bond called all of these people

including because of the departure of nato and the u. s. allies. some of those are strategical because they decided as far as we know for them to concentrate the resources that they have considerable resources that they have in order to protect their more strategically irrelevant places. but in the end is not up to us to decide you know, the future of going on and we hope and we encourage interrupt gone p stocks because at the same moment the room for diplomacy will arrive. and i hope you are very soon. well, there is enormous criticism of your withdrawal from experts from military personnel generals who are involved in commanding forces in nature intelligence chief saying that basically this is a sorry moment for western grand strategy. we've lost the plot here. that's load. david richard's a former british commander of nato forces in afghanistan. he said a country that we promised a huge amount to faces almost certain civil war, with the likelihood that the taliban will be back to where they were in 2000. and one you think he doesn't know what he'

well, as you mentioned, they have a sped things up quite a bit because the u. s. announced it wanted all of its troops out by september 11th, and that's what nato said it would do as well. and here we are. you know, 1st the 1st week of july. but we had been hearing behind the scenes that president bite. and in particular, actually wanted to be able to announce all us troops home by the 4th of july, of course, independence day in the united states. and it looks like he's going to get his wish, i'm told by diplomatic sources that an announcement on that is imminent. within the next couple of days, now the base in background was the main point for her to get its people in and out of the country, not only military staff, but also for example diplomats. what does this hand over of the base main for the future then, particularly where security is concerned? yes, also journalists go in and out of the bathroom, quite often when you're with us, us and nato troops. so this now is handed over to afghan forces, and i mean, nobody wants to say aloud that these troops that the

u. s. anti doping agency because she has an american athlete follow, adopted those band substance rules by water and unfortunately had to band her for at least one month to 4 years. they did give her a 30 that she accepted a 30 day suspension. so unfortunately, she will not be able to participate in the 100 meter for the women, for the usa women at the tokyo olympics. however, she will be suspension will be up in time where she could still participate in the 4 by 100 meter relay. but that is not her event, like people had high hopes of her to get gold. the 1st u. s. women to get gold at an olympic event since 1996 when gail deavers did it. so it's a sad story because she also said she was using it as a coping mechanism because she found out her biological mother had passed away and she was struggling with that. and once again, it was told to her by a reporter based on that she was trying to do that, i get that. but i have also seen a lot of anger as you point out at the us olympic committee. not necessarily where the blame belongs, as there's now call. there's a petition signed by pars,

and because the u. s. government doesn't want to give you any details or very investigation because usually involves some kind of classified technology. they just don't tell you those details. so they probably come to a very similar conclusion to what i have if they really looked into them in any depths. you tweeted a page from a book by carl sagan that was written back in 1995. they got my attention and you highlighted what say good wrote about the intellectual health of americans. and he says that americans are falling back into superstition in darkness because the technological powers controlling the world seems so great. and they are also so poorly understood by those who are supposed to represent our interest. e, you know, our politicians. is that what is happening in your opinion to our world when it comes to wanting to believe in us foes and not pushing more fervently for a scientific explanation as you do in your twitter feed? well, i think this is kind of an intractable problem, really not everyb

u. s. territory but, but at a minimum taken out of afghanistan and processed in an area where, where they are safe and i think a u. s. territory is preferred because it's best not to out source, our responsibility to a 3rd country. but in terms of simply getting them out of afghanistan along with their dependence, i think that's very feasible. the january 6 attack on the us capital building was a clear plan to disrupt democracy according to one police officer present that day . he was one of several officers testifying before a congressional committee, john 100 reports from washington, d. c. hold true and nothing but the true in sometimes harrowing testimony for police officers detailed a coordinated attack on the us capital. and on them the washington police officer, michael for knowns. own body camera captured him being pulled into the crowd of donald trump. supporters beaten and shocked with a taser like stay in their body. like it's jimmy on here. and he says, the response from republican politicians has been just is hurtful. the indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful, but nothing truly, nothing has prepared me to address those ele

u. s. territory, but, but at a minimum taken out of afghanistan and processed in an area where, where there, they are safe and i think a u. s. territory is preferred because it's best not to out source, our responsibility to a 3rd country, but in terms of simply getting them out of afghanistan along with their dependence . i think that's very feasible for me. a close ally of pope francis is on trial for alleged financial crimes. he, along with 9 others, is accused of extortion. embezzlement and money laundering is the largest trial ever to take place within the vatican and re simmons reports from london on the case on the links, the case has to the u. k. what has the vatican, the heart of the roman catholic church and chelsea, one of the most exclusive and desirable parts of london got in common. it isn't religion, it's money. lots of it. then add to that murky deals. extortion and fraud revolving around a central figure. not a godfather, a catholic cardinal angelo. bet you. he was a close adviser to pope francis, who fired him last year, accusing him of nepotism. but the scandal is far bigger than favors for friends and family. bet you and 9 others faced

because authorities have kind of danced around the subject. the cdc in the u. s. for example, says that because lactating women weren't part of studies, it can't make a concrete prediction on any effects that vaccination might have on mothers, their milk or their newborns. but the agency also lads that there are no indications that breast know from vaccinated mothers poses a risk to their babies. and that women therefore can receive a vaccine. so an answer that places the responsibility for making the decision squarely back on the shoulders of those women and the doctors to advise them. many experts expect a firmer official stance in the coming months as, as results from targeted studies role land. but until then, here's a breakdown of what the data indicates so far. first of all, there is no evidence that vaccines harm, breast feeding mothers specifically and directly in any way, and a growing pile of evidence that they protect them from private 19 as effectively as they protect other people. second, research into authorized messenger r n. a vaccines hasn't found

and that is because the u. s. government wouldn't let them launch this thing near people because it is so danger. what could go wrong? there is a lot unfortunately that can go wrong. we pray obviously, that nothing happens today to spoil the event. but, but this is extraordinarily dangerous. stop. it is not safe to get into a rocket. that is the simple reality. there is the additional complication that via fast the unity has. it's called the virgin spaceship unity. this is only it's 4th flight into the edge of space if there's only flown 3 times to the edge of space. that is an extraordinarily small number of test flights before you start risking civilians on board. so what's different between today's launch for us is what we're going to see on july 20th with a jeff base or you could, you mentioned the competition between the 2 men. of course, do you think it's a healthy one? yes. and is interesting. one of the benefits, there are many, many arguments against billionaires spending all their money on pet projects.

by way of comparison, afghanistan is on a tier 3 list, but it does have a waiver because the u. s. considers that important to continue that national security relationship. ah there with me. the whole rahman, the reminder of all top news stories, donald trans company, and it's finance chief, are being prosecuted in new york for what's being described as sweeping and audacious tax fraud. the trump organization and advisable bug deny scheming, to help top executives avoid paying taxes on the benefits. gabriel, under has more from new york. this is the 25 page indictment. read it through several times at this point. and it's full of all sorts of allegations by the prosecutors against not only weisel berg, but the trump organization as a whole, all sorts of accusations. but the bottom line here and allegations is that it all comes down to fraud and avoiding paying taxes. rescue workers all resuming the search for survivors in florida. a week after the champlain towers collapsed earlier president joe biden visited, besides the relatives of victims and emergency cruise, 145 people remai

because u. s. capital is u. s. capital is, is unbundled and the u. s. global capital market is still one of the top in the world. so to, to completely isolate chinese tech companies from fundraising, america that is a very dumb move to mix. so i think the common thread between all these 3 companies is obviously that they very, very recently listed in the us and between the us and china. there is this rising tension in the us for and to deal with chinese companies from the us exchange of in 3 years, unless the 2 government can actually region information sharing agreement. and i think that's the key that would allow the u. s. regulator to actually inspect these lifted chinese companies. financial records when fraud is defected. so i think the see the appear to be concerned that these big tech companies, they hold very sensitive user information that could pose a national security risk if it falls into the wrong hands, including perhaps the u. s. intelligence agencies. so in terms of the doubt only has the most detailed travel information on individual
